While you may not necessarily have any achy joints now, it’s always better to be safe (and preventative) than sorry. You’ll thank yourself later for purchasing a pillow for neck pain instead of a standard pillow, and so will your future self's corrected spine alignment. Think about it; keeping everything in check now means that you won’t need to further down the line. There’s nothing quite like resting your head down on a plush, fluffy pillow - but is it best for your body? If you wake up with any form of stiffness, chances are you need a pillow for neck pain. Technically it's called a cervical pillow (and has nothing to do with your cervix) and provides cervical support for the nerves extending out from the spinal cord - talk about chiropractic know-how, eh?
What is the best rated pillow for neck pain?
There are so many pillows for neck pain on the market, which can be quite daunting when you don’t know what shape or firmness will benefit you specifically. Our bodies have natural curves, so flat and thin pillows are a no-go when it comes to maintaining the health of our spines. This Specialist Synthetic Contour Support Pillow from John Lewis is uniquely designed to offer targeted support for your back and neck by allowing your shoulders to nestle in the cut-out. Ideal for side sleepers, it’ll cradle you and ensure the correct alignment throughout the night to avoid any pains come the morning.
Elsewhere, Amazon’s Contour Memory Foam Pillow with Cooling Tencel Fibers offers its specialised shape specifically for people who suffer with neck pain. The ergonomic design aligns your spine and releases the pressure of your head and neck by increasing blood flow and opens up your air passages therefore decreasing the risk of snoring. The hypoallergenic fabric and ventilation holes mean that there’s no need to swap to the ‘cool side’ either, and it makes a good case for an anti-allergy pillow. Sign me up.
